Today, my last son finishes high school. This week, I think I will reflect on the many wonderful things that have happened in my life and the lives of my children as a result of the choice I made to come to Tyler back in 1999.
I think of Geoff as my Texan. The rest of us may live here, but he went from 11 to 18 while living here. Which of the other guys would have painted a Texas flag on the rusting roof of the van? Chris and Nathan both finished at REL,but Geoff started there and finished as part of the musical landscape. Chris may have married a Texan, but Geoff has dated several--even the same one in two different seasons of his life, when he was in 8th grade and now again at 18. Thank heaven he does not sound like he is from East Texas, but I think the rest of him is Texan.
I promised Geoff waffles for breakfast today,our last Saturday in this house before we go our various ways. Hope to have pictures later.
